It's fine, and worth the download. If you enjoy CHEK 6 News of Victoria, BC, Canada, you'll probably like this app. It's free, safe, and doesn't tout itself as anything more than a simple, easy access way to your favorite Vancouver Island news outlet. 4 out of 5 stars... full screen on videos presently not working, lacking a Chromecast functionality.

App is down 30% of time and extremely slow to load. It almost never works around 5 p.m. - almost like the app stops working when the station broadcasts. Maybe time to put another hamster on the wheel.

App opens up internet browser to chek news site. Right now it defeats the purpose of an app.

Good app, easy to find articles I'm interested in. Only downside is I can't "full screen" the news broadcasts.
